II: The Path of Good Wishes for Saving from the Dangerous Narrow Passageway of the Bardo

Verses 1–3

O ye Conquerors and your Sons, abiding in the Ten Directions,
O ye ocean-like Congregation of the All-Good Conquerors, the Peaceful and the Wrathful,
O ye Gurus and Devas, and ye Dākinīs, the Faithful Ones,
Hearken now out of [your] great love and compassions:
Obeisance, O ye assemblage of Gurus and Dākinīs;
Out of your great love, lead us along the Path.
When, through illusion, I and others are wandering in the Sangsāra,
Along the bright light-path of undistracted listening, reflection, and meditation,
May the Gurus of the Inspired Line lead us,
May the bands of Mothers be our rear-guard,
May we be saved from the fearful narrow passage-way of the Bardo,
May we be placed in the state of the perfect Buddhahood.
When, through violent anger, [we are] wandering in the Sangsāra,
Along the bright light-path of the Mirror-like Wisdom,
May the Bhagavan Vajra-Sattva lead us,
May the Mother Mamakī be our rear-guard,
May we be saved from the fearful narrow passage-way of the Bardo,
May we be placed in the state of the perfect Buddhahood.
